Effectiveness of methods for cleaning arch wire: an in vitro study

Biosci. j. (Online); 37 (), 2021
The aim of this study was to evaluate various methods of removing bacterial and fungus biofilm, to simulate orthodontic arch wires cleaning before reinsertion in the patients appliance. Rectangular Nickel Titanium (NiTi), Stainless Steel (SS) and Titanium Molybdenum (TMA) wires were divided into five gro...

Changes in freshwater sediment microbial populations during fermentation of crude glycerol

Electron J Biotechnol; 49 (), 2021
BACKGROUND: This work studied how the exposure to an unusual substrate forced a change in microbial populations during anaerobic fermentation of crude glycerol, a by-product of biodiesel production, with freshwater sediment used as an inoculum. RESULTS: The microbial associations almost completely (99.9%...

Vibrio sp. ArtGut-C1, a polyhydroxybutyrate producer isolated from the gut of the aquaculture live diet Artemia (Crustacea)

Electron J Biotechnol; 49 (), 2021
BACKGROUND: Vibrio species display variable and plastic fitness strategies to survive and interact with multiple hosts, including marine aquaculture species that are severely affected by pathogenic Vibrios. The culturable Vibrio sp. strain ArtGut-C1, the focus of this study, provides new evidence of such...

Comparison of microbiological quality between illegal and inspected salami

Arq. Inst. Biol; 88 (), 2021
The consumption of meat and meat products can pose consumers into risk due to the presence of biological hazards that can cause foodborne diseases. Thus, this study aimed to compare the microbiological quality of illegal and inspected salami sold in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. For this purpose, 80 s...

Virulence, agr groups, antimicrobial resistance and epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from bovine subclinical mastitis

Fifty-two Staphylococcus aureus recovered from papillary ostium and milk samples collected from cows with subclinical mastitis and milking environments in three small dairy herds located in southeastern Brazil were subjected to PCR identification based on the thermonuclease (nuc) g...

Escrofuloderma, una manifestación extrapulmonar de tuberculosis: a propósito de un caso y actualización de esquema de tratamiento en Chile

Rev. chil. dermatol; 37 (3), 2021
La tuberculosis (TBC) es una enfermedad infecciosa causada por organismos del complejo Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Las presentaciones extrapulmonares constituyen hasta el 25% de los casos de TBC reportados en nuestro país. La TBC cutánea es una manifestación extrapulmonar rara que representa el 1-2% d...

Desfechos clínicos e microbiológicos no uso de cateter venoso periférico: subsídios para assistência segura ao paciente

Os cateteres venosos periféricos (CVP) são produtos para saúde (PPS) comumente utilizados em pacientes hospitalizados para administração de fluidos, medicamentos, e monitoramento hemodinâmico. No entanto, podem representar fonte potencial de contaminação microbiana, formação de biofilme e infec...

Avaliação in vitro da formação de biofilme por cepas de Candida spp. provenientes de indivíduos diabéticos e não diabéticos em ambiente sem e com suplementação de glicose

É notório o papel do diabetes mellitus como fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de doenças bucais, como a candidíase bucal, cárie e a periodontite. Assim, este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a formação de biofilme por cepas de Candida spp. provenientes de diabéticos e não diabéticos em ambi...

Cryptic speciation in populations of the genus Aphyocharax (Characiformes: Characidae) from eastern Amazon coastal river drainages and surroundings revealed by single locus species delimitation methods

Neotrop. ichthyol; 19 (4), 2021
Recent studies in eastern Amazon coastal drainages and their surroundings have revealed new fish species that sometimes exhibit little morphological differentiation (cryptic species). Thus, we used a DNA-based species delimitation approach to test if populations showing the morphotype and typical charact...
